Moon Rising Above the Himalayas

Saturday, July 16th, 2011

As the moon began rising above the Himalayas, the sun welcomed it warmly by casting its final rays of the day to highlight the moment. It was as if the two were set on providing the memory of a lifetime. Of course the jagged design of the Himalayan peaks blanketed with snow were a breathtaking sight all on their own. ...

Moon Sneaking Away Before the Dawn

Saturday, July 16th, 2011

It was a truly serene moment. Right before the dawn the moon decided it had better sneak away as the sun was supposed to arrive any moment. But, lucky for us, it was caught right as it was setting behind Lassen Peak in Lassen Volcanic National Park. Now, the locals know moments like these happen only once in a blue ...

The Moon Has Arrived

Wednesday, June 15th, 2011

The evening was a quiet one, relatively uneventful. Of course the city was ablaze with lights, traffic and people dashing to and fro. But we were far enough removed from the nightly noise that from where we sat, it was peaceful, calm and very relaxing. Then it finally happened. Our dark, peaceful night was suddenly brought into the light by ...

Ducks Out For A Swim Under The Harvest Moon

Wednesday, May 18th, 2011

It was a cold Autumn evening. The Harvest Moon hung high in the sky. The evidence of fall was clear through the color of the changing leaves. In contrast, the sky had a beautiful purple hue to it. The night was still and peaceful. A family of ducks appeared out from behind the bushes, out for a swim under the ...

Moon Balancing Atop The Washington Monument

Monday, May 9th, 2011

Washington D.C. is a place filled with stunning landmarks, beautiful architectural masterpieces, amazing history and tourist attractions left and right. But to be honest, this was probably the best photo opportunity of the entire trip. Most people take their photos during the day, but thankfully some people are open to nighttime photo ops. And catching the moon balancing atop the ...

Trying to Capture the Moon

Tuesday, April 19th, 2011

Every day I wait. Patiently sitting on the end of our wharf, hoping tonight will be the night. The night when I finally capture the moon. I've been trying to capture the moon for weeks now. To be honest, this is probably the closest I've ever come to snagging it in my fishing net. Let's see...if I can reach it ...

Taking a Commercial Flight to the Moon

Wednesday, April 13th, 2011

I've always wondered what it would be like to fly to the moon. I kind of figured they'd end up taking passengers in the space shuttle. But with the shuttles all being retired, I guess that's no longer an option. I'll tell you one thing though, the tourism side of the space race is going to get mighty interesting, mighty ...

Time as the World Sees It

Sunday, March 13th, 2011

Time as the world sees it. No matter where you are in the world, life seems to revolve around the time of day. In one part of the world people are waking up to a beautiful sunrise, while in another zone people are watching the moon glow in the evening sky. Now, that's not to say that our lives are ...

The Peacefulness of Marina Park at Sunset

Thursday, March 10th, 2011

I'll admit, sometimes I enjoy the hussle and bussle of a busy marina. Boats coming in and going out. People lounging around, soaking up the sun and enjoying the company of friends (and a good drink). But there's something so peaceful about Marina Park at sunset. The moon, the sky, the rippling water. I swear one day I'm going to ...

Fog Rolling In With The Rising Moon

Friday, February 18th, 2011

I wasn't really sure what to make of it. The eerie fog rolling in with the rising moon seemed to set quite a mood. The waves that I was sure should be washing up against the shore had all but disappeared under the fog. Part of me wanted to stay, part of me wanted to walk away. In the end, ...
